We will remember them…

…just not with gunfire This year will mark the end of the traditional defence force firing parties at Anzac Day services throughout New Zealand, including the volunteer-run contingent in Cambridge.

Photo by Michael Jeans Gunfire has rung out for the last time at Anzac Day commemorations in town on Wednesday, after the volunteers from the former D Company 6th Battalion (Hauraki) stood down after 15 years of providing the firing party.

This coincides with the New Zealand Defence Force’s (NZDF) announcement that they will no longer be providing any firing parties throughout the country for the annual memorial service.

The secretary of the Cambridge RSA, Nelson

Goodley, said that former members of the 6th Hauraki Battalion, led by Mervyn Balloch, have been volunterring at Anzac services since the NZDF stopped providing firing parties in the town in 2003.

Letter to the editor

Cambridge newsroom update Another week has hurtled past, and quite frankly the next thing we know we will all be Christmas shopping. In fact, from the office the other day I heard a busker playing a Christmas carol, which I thought was totally out of line.

Fortunately, they seemed to have moved along, and just as well.

This week we mark another Anzac Day, remembering those who gave their lives to protect our way of life. Whatever your view is on war, it’s a good time to stop and reflect on the sacrifices of those who have gone before us. Every name on every cenotaph around the country and around the world was someone’s son, brother or friend who never came home. Sobering stuff.

Also in the paper this week is another warning to watch out for scams, as those behind them will use many and varied methods to part the unsuspecting punter from their money. As a sleep-deprived new mother I once fell for one myself, clicking on a phishing email and starting to enter my security questions on a bogus bank website.

Fortunately, I came to my senses halfway through and quickly changed all my passwords, but it was a close one (also, as a security measure I had an account balance of 15 cents at the time). It looked totally legitimate, and it wasn’t until I looked at the URL at the top of the page that I clicked what was happening. And as one of the dwindling number of people with a landline in Cambridge, I also get those pesky calls from parts unknown kindly offering to fix my computer. Between them and the people doing surveys, I have started to wonder why I even have a landline anymore.

Have a great week, everyone, I hope you enjoy the paper – we’ve had a lot of fun bringing it to you (even though public holidays mess with our deadlines, causing massive coffee overload as a result).

Editor It’s difficult to see how a third bridge would not be needed before 2048.

Cambridge’s population is growing fast. According to the Waipa council there are likely to be 10,000 extra people living in Cambridge by 2028 – maybe 30,000 extra by 2018!

The two bridges we have are adequate, except that the high-level bridge was erected over 100 years ago to carry the occasional horse and cart. Today, at some periods, the high-level bridge carries noseto-tail vehicles both ways, on a narrow roadway. In the recent past, there was some minor damage at one end of the high-level bridge which necessitated the bridge being closed for a time, and meant a long, slow trip for those travelling across the river, because only one bridge was available. Is there a regular maintenance check to ensure that the high-level bridge is up to health and safety standards?

Cambridge needs an immediate plan for a third bridge. Th area where the bridge is to be built needs to be established and building needs to take place very soon!

A comment from a Waipa councillor would be appreciated.

Michael Cole Council response: We agree Cambridge is growing fast. The report from experts has taken this growth plus other factors into account. There is no suggestion there won’t ever be a third bridge in Cambridge; the question is when and how it can be built in a way the community can afford. Currently, there is spare capacity on the Shakespeare St bridge and given that, plus the low levels of congestion, building a third bridge now would simply not qualify for a government subsidy. That means, based on a cost of $65 million, all Waipa ratepayers (not just in Cambridge) would have to cover the total cost. That would drive a rates increase of around 11 per cent, district-wide, just to pay for a bridge which experts say is not needed yet. For a Waipa ratepayer with a rates bill of $2,500 per year, it would add an extra $275 to their annual rates every year for 30 years. The high-level bridge is very sound and undergoes regular checks. However, we have already commissioned more work to check on its resilience and to estimate its long-term maintenance costs. This will be important information so planning for a third bridge for the future can continue.

More scams doing the rounds

FRIDAY APRIL 27, 2018

A number of scams are circulating at the moment, including one targeting victims with the lure of shopping vouchers for Countdown supermarket.

Consumers are advised that Countdown does not ask for personal details such as PIN numbers over the phone or online, and the supermarket strongly encourages customers not to give out personal details to anyone claiming to be from the chain.

The scam, in both text and email form, has been telling customers they have won Countdown vouchers ranging from $50 to $2500, asking people to participate

in surveys or confirming delivery of orders they have not placed.

Countdown advises that sometimes they do send out texts to customers who have registered to receive them, but they will come from the number 800. Online shopping customers will receive text messages from the number 4141 for delivery and 5872 for pick up.

When receiving an email from any company, make sure you check the email address it has been sent from – if the email address seems strange, such as promo@ aldaniti.net or countact@benoted. net – do not click on any links, including the unsubscribe button.

Also, be aware of fake Facebook

pages – Countdown’s official page has a blue tick next to it, marking it as verified.

Scratch and win tickets from New Balance Tour have also been appearing in Cambridge letterboxes, telling them they have won $200,000.

This scam is what’s known as an advanced fee fraud – designed to extract money from unsuspecting “winners”, by asking for a few thousand dollars to cover administrative costs and taxes so they can claim their big prize. This is similar to the people in Nigeria seeking your help to liberate all that money they have stuck in the bank for want of a few thousand dollars in processing fees that they

need from you.

The scratch and win scammers will also ask you to hand over person details such as passport numbers and credit card details.

Normally the tickets will come accompanied with a glossy and professional-looking brochure.

Netsafe advises not to hand over any personal details, obviously, but also not to call the scammers to check it out as they will likely be using a premium rate telephone number.

The company names associated with these scams change almost weekly, so it is best to live by the adage “if it seems too good to be true, it probably is”.

We will remember them… Quickfire News just not with gunfire Ethical Fashion Guide back

Continued from page 1

The battalion was disbanded in the early 2000s, Nelson explained, but some of the personnel have continued to provide the service for the town voluntarily since then. “The Cambridge RSA has been extremely grateful for the ongoing support of the volunteers from the former D Company, Hauraki, over the past 15 years,” Nelson said.

There is a possibility that other volunteers might be found for future services, however Nelson said that would be “unlikely”. He also firmly ruled out the use of military reenactors in any Anzac Day ceremony under his watch.

The chair of the Anzac and Armistice/Remembrance Day Committee, Mike Pettit, echoed that position, saying that, “personally I would not see reenactors conducting any future dawn service firing party duties, however after each Anzac and Armistice Day services the committee conduct a reflective debrief and the loss of the firing party will be high on the agenda.

“The firing party ties back to 1916 when the first Anzac Service took place in recognition of those who fell at Gallipoli. The firing party recognizes the fact that most

families never got to bury their own sons, so this was their funeral service. Since then the firing party is in remembrance of those funeral services,” he explained.

An NZDF spokesperson said that the defence force will continue to conduct volley firing at entitled military funerals and at designated sunset ceremonies, but not Anzac services.

Nelson said he understood this call had been made due to declining numbers in the defence

force, coinciding with an increase in requests for personnel at ceremonial events.

Concerns have reportedly been raised by police in Christchurch that gunfire might startle people and cause a panic in a confined space, however Mike Pettit advised there have been no issues or complaints made to the community board or the organising committee around the use of guns at the Anzac Day services.

Māori or General Roll?

If you are Māori and 18 or over, it is time to choose whether you want to be on the Māori or General Electoral Roll. There are currently seven Māori electorates, and 64 General electorates – in Cambridge our Māori MP is Nanaia Mahuta, the current Minister of Local Government and Māori Development, and Associate Minister of the Environment. We sit in the Hauraki-Waikato Māori Electorate.

The Māori Electoral Option is running until August 2 – visit www.maorioption.org.nz for more information and to find out which roll you are currently on.

Record feedback on Council proposals Around 800 people have officially had their say on how Waipa District Council should invest in its community over the next decade.

And less formal feedback from hundreds more will be provided to elected councillors before they make their final decisions in June this year.

Waipa District Council began calling for submissions on its draft 10-Year Plan in mid-March.

The official submission period closed last Friday, with around 800 written submissions received.

That’s nearly double the number

Tear Fund has released its 2018 Ethical Fashion Guide, which gives consumers the information they need to make clothes shopping decisions to reduce worker exploitation in developing countries. The guide assesses 114 companies and grades them from A to F, based on their efforts to reduce worker exploitation in their manufacturing process. They are assessed in four areas – worker empowerment, policies, auditing and supplier relationships, and traceability and transparency. Each company is graded at different stages in the supply chain, with raw materials (for example, cotton farming), inputs production (production of fabric) and final stage production (sewing it together). The final grade is an average of how the company has performed across each area.

For more information and to download your copy of the Ethical Fashion Guide, visit www.tearfund.org.nz.

of submissions received in 2015, when 479 people or organisations had their say.

Communication and engagement manager Natalie Palmer said of the six major proposals outlined in the plan, the one to provide a $500,000 grant towards the development of a sport and recreation centre at Ohaupo had attracted the most feedback.

Early analysis showed around half supported the proposal with about 30 per cent against and 20 per cent unsure. Of those who submitted on the Ohaupo proposal, about one third owned

property in the affected area.

With the exception of the Ohaupo proposal, all of the council’s proposals outlined in the draft 10-Year Plan were supported by the majority of submitters. Final numbers are still being worked through.

Palmer said feedback received through informal channels like Facebook and from face-to-face meetings would be collated and also presented to councillors. That included feedback on a range of issues, not just that outlined in consultation material.

Event organisers are being urged to apply for funding aimed at supporting champion events in the Waipa district. Applications are now open for the 2018/19 District Promotion Fund, with $100,000 available to support events that promote Waipa as an attractive place to live, work, invest in or visit.

Waipa mayor Jim Mylchreest said the increase in highcalibre events being hosted in the region, such as Waka Ama Sprint Nationals, has a positive effect on the district.

In addition to money, council offers Waipa Home of Champions equipment and guidance through processes like traffic management that require some council involvement. The 2017/18 funding round received 51 applications and supported 35 successful applicants with funding and equipment. Successful applicants included New Zealand Canoe Sprint National Champs, Family Fireworks and Armistice in Cambridge. Application forms are available from Council offices or online, and entries must be received by 5pm, Friday, Jim Mylchreest, May 25.

FRIDAY APRIL 27, 2018

New record for pedestrian numbers Cambridge came alive on Autumn Festival Carnival Sunday, cracking the record for foot traffic in the main street.

Held on April 15, the carnival saw almost 5,000 people traversing town – wandering in to see the street entertainers, music and dance of local

performers and to visit the open shops.

Autumn Festival Trustee Alana MacKay said they were delighted with the turnout.

“We are thrilled that so many people from Cambridge, and further afield, came to enjoy the carnival day in our

beautiful and talented town,” she said.

Autumn Festival Trustee David McCathie said the carnival now has the support of beyond just the region.

“This year we welcomed more from outside Cambridge, predominantly from Hamilton, Auckland, Tauranga and Rotorua. The Cambridge Autumn Festival was promoted in the NZ Herald as an event to attend and with large coverage from our local papers we are confident this assisted such an influx.”

With the pedestrian count being recorded by a digital counter in central Victoria Street, the previous record was held by Friday December 22, 2017 – a big day of bustle before Christmas,

and also a Love Cambridge day of promotion.

Cambridge Chamber of Commerce CEO and Love Cambridge Director Tania Witheford said after a relatively steady six months in the later part of 2017, 2018 has started strong.

“So far this year we have seen a steady rise in the number of people walking the main street,” she said. “And this is without the big influx of Maadi, as it is not our year of hosting.

“It has us wondering what will topple this new record. The Cycling Festival?

Mother’s Day? Both are set to be big.”

And anticipation is already building for beyond, with a massive January and eventful 2019 on the calendar.

Win tickets to Cantando Choir Waikato’s Cantando Choir is kicking off its 30th birthday with a light-hearted concert of jazz and swing numbers next weekend, dubbed Ain’t Misbehavin’.

Even the venue – the Concert Chamber at the Performing Arts Academy of Waikato University – has been deliberately chosen for its smaller size and more intimate atmosphere, reminiscent of the popular Jazz clubs of the 1930s and ‘40s.

Musical Director, Rupert D’Cruze, said, “In a departure from the Anzac reflections concert which Cantando usually performs around this time of year, this one-hour programme is designed to show the versatility of the choir.

“Most of the items can be loosely described as being in the Broadway style – fun to sing and listen to; jazzy and with a strong beat.”

The concert on May 6 will include popular favourites like Ain’t Misbehavin’, Lullaby of Broadway and Swingin’ with the Saints – balanced by more reflective items such as Nella Fantasia, a beautiful ballad sung in Italian, and Swing Low Sweet Chariot. The choir will also be supported by special guests at the concert, Ian Parsons and his jazz band Jazzian.

Tickets are available by emailing info@ cantando.org, or phoning 021 1393 796.

Adults $30, senior and unwaged $25, students with ID $20, family (2 adults and 2 children) $70 (additional children $10, under 5 free), group bookings (10 seats) $200.

Cambridge News has two tickets to give away to the concert. Just send your full name and contact number to: sophie@cambridgenews.nz by 5pm, Wednesday May 2.

Privacy law revision overdue

Recent interest in privacy law has spiked with the discovery that Cambridge Analytica used data obtained from Facebook to influence global politics, including the 2016 election of US President Donald Trump. The company improperly acquired data from Facebook users, prompting Facebook to ban the firm from its platform.

There have been significant technological advances since the Privacy Act 1993 was introduced, and the Cambridge Analytica situation shows that the revision of New Zealand’s privacy laws is long overdue.

This month, a Privacy Bill had its first reading in Parliament, and is intended to replace the 1993 Act. The Bill provides the Privacy Commissioner with greater powers to address failures by agencies to deal with personal information appropriately and is intended to restore public confidence that

personal information will be kept secure and treated properly.

Complaints are ordinarily based on an alleged breach of one of 12 Privacy Principles.

The principles include using information only for the purpose for which it was collected, enabling a person to access and correct their personal information, limiting disclosure of personal information and the obligation to keep information secure.

The Privacy Bill largely retains the structural elements of the current Act, however key provisions in the proposed Bill include the introduction of: Mandatory reporting of privacy breaches: Agencies will be required to notify the Privacy Commissioner and affected individuals, in the event of a notifiable privacy breach as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the breach.

Raising funds for Starship

Compliance Notices: will be able to be issued by the Privacy Commissioner to require an agency to do something (or stop doing something) to comply with privacy laws.

Ultimately, the Bill aims to modernise privacy legislation and to give the Commissioner greater teeth to enforce privacy rights and should achieve this. The Bill is expected to be passed into law by the end of the year.

their raffle, the owner Karen Focas suggested they put on a movie fundraiser. “It was really funny,” Kate said of the movie, which doubled as the Cambridge-premier of the new movie Peter Rabbit.

The pair hope to make the raffle tickets available to buy through Goodwood School and other participating local businesses and are planning a sausage sizzle and bake sale to raise funds. For now, the $2 raffle tickets can be purchased by emailing rmenevill@gmail.com. Any donations towards the cause are also welcome and appreciated.

To find out more visit www. facebook.com/katesfundraising/.

A young girl new to Cambridge is already making her mark on the town in a positive way, running a fundraising campaign to support children in need.

Kate Pridham, 9, has so far raised over $400 for Starship Hospital with the help of her mum Rachel, and members of the community. The Year 5 Goodwood student came up with the idea of fundraising for the Waikato children’s hospital after her friend, from her hometown of Matamata, was a patient at Starship.

“I’d feel really happy if someone was doing it for me,” said Kate, “I’m glad I’m doing it because it’s going to help Starship Hospital… I’ve been thinking about all the kids in Starship and want to try and make their lives a bit happier.”

Kate hopes to raise $1000 for the organisation, and with the help of her mum has so far gathered around three thousand dollars’ worth of goods for a big raffle basket, which they plan to draw at Goodwood School during Term 2.

After approaching Tivoli Cinema for Kate Pridham and her mum Rachel have so far raised a donation towards over $400 for Starship Hospital.

FRIDAY APRIL 27, 2018

Anzac Day at Le Quesnoy Waipa District Councillor Sue Milner and her husband are on a self-funded trip to Cambridge’s sister city, Le Quesnoy, to celebrate Anzac Day there. She has provided this report: It’s a special place for All New Zealanders in France, the town of Le Quesnoy liberated on November 4, 1918 by the NZ Regiment. The story is told in a stained-glass window in St Andrews in Cambridge, and in Le Quesnoy they have commemorated Anzac Day ever since.

There is a big presence of Kiwis here in Le Quesnoy this year. There is the Tag Along Tour Group, a Group from high schools in Invercargill, and independent tourists like Ray and I. We are being hosted

by Alain and MarieChristine who have stayed with us in Cambridge as part of a group from Le Quesnoy on 2 visits.

As Kiwis we are being

shown the sites of the Great War, including the significant ramparts (city wall) designed by Vauban in the 17th century and the scene of the Kiwi ingenuity, when the son of a vicar of Cambridge and others improvised a ladder to scale the wall and, in a few hours, had liberated the town from German occupation.

We have visited War cemeteries, the Wellington Quarry at Arras and other towns that are forever part of our New Zealand Story, and attended a choral concert with a New Zealand theme - When the Poppies Bloom, featuring our National Anthem in Te Reo Māori and English as the songs told the liberation story.

In the evening the Cambridge Le Quesnoy association hosted a wonderful dinner for us all.

The group has also attended a Dawn Service conducted by the NZ Embassy and NZDF, with

Toe-tapping start to Anzac week

Waipa District Councillor Sue Milner many locals attending.

Aside from the translation of speeches into French, it was a truly NZ event with representatives present also from the other Allied Forces which served in the Great War. Later there was another service in the centre of town, I laid a wreath on behalf of the Cambridge Community Board.

In November there will be an even bigger Commemoration - for the Liberation of Le Quesnoy, and then the Armistice that ended hostilities – and the Cambridge Community Board and Waipa District Council will be represented.

A huge thanks to the people of Le Quesnoy who continue to keep the traditions of Anzac Day, and who cherish their connection with us.

It is very special to share it with them.

Residents at Ultimate Care Cambridge Oakdale rest-home started Anzac week slightly early on Monday with an hour or so of music across the decades. Local DJ Matt Hicks offered his services for free to bring residents a beat-filled selection that included music from the 40s, 50s and 60s.

Writing a letter of complaint Helpful advice from the Citizens’ Advice Bureau If you have a dispute and talking to the other party doesn’t sort out the problem, putting your complaint into writing can help. Even if it doesn’t change their minds, it is a useful summary of the facts in case you want to take your complaint to the next stage. Below are some tips: 1. Be clear and concise - aim for no more than a page. Check the spelling and grammar, so the focus will be on what you are saying.

2. Be polite - rudeness will undermine the credibility of your complaint.

3. Say upfront that this is a letter of complaint so there is no misunderstanding.

4. Include the basic details about what happened, when, where, and any cost involved.

5. State what the problem is (give the reason for your complaint).

6. Say what you want them to do to fix the problem (e.g. a refund, repair).

Be reasonable, fair and in proportion to the problem.

7. Include a date by which you would like a reply. When deciding on a deadline, think about what timeframe would be required by the disputes body, in case you need to escalate the complaint.

8. Attach copies of any written evidence to back up your case e.g. receipts, invoices or contracts. Don’t send originals.

Emotional visit to Wahine event

By Viv Posselt

In a moving twist of fate, Florence Shearman’s attendance at the April 10 Wahine 50 commemorations brought her face-to-face with someone she had helped during the immediate aftermath of the 1968 maritime tragedy.

Now 54, the woman was then the four-year-old daughter of a Nepalese family who had already been brought into Wellington’s railway station after being rescued. The family had remained unresponsive and silent up to that point, refusing all help until the little girl was brought back to them, safely wrapped in a blanket.

“When I heard she was there, I just cried and cried,” said Florence. “And then when I was taken to meet her, we just hugged each other and cried again.

I have no idea what she remembers – I don’t remember what we said to each other. It was such an emotional moment for me.”

Florence spent 19 hours helping survivors at the emergency centre

at Wellington station after the ferry Wahine sank on a stormy April 10, 1968.

The 50th commemorations were marked by eerily similar weather; Florence said her departure from Hamilton Airport earlier in the day had seen her “helped across the tarmac” by two burly blokes who prevented the wind blowing her over.

Once in Wellington, she was squired around the commemorations by a volunteer who escorted her around and helped locate individuals she was keen to meet. Reporters and camera crew were out in full force, and Florence found herself relating her story to many of them.

“There were a lot of tears that day. I hadn’t expected it to be as emotional as it was. Even after I got home I was still pretty upset – it took me a couple of days to shake it.”

Florence said the disaster reshaped her life. After the sinking of the Wahine, she left the world of nursing and trained in counselling

and psychology to prepare herself for a career first in hospital chaplaincy, and then industrial chaplaincy. It has seen her work with police and other authorities over many decades.

“I’ve really seen the raw side of life since then. I think in some way my experience with the Wahine made me even more determined than I was before to help people.”

During her years in working with the police, Florence brushed up against Ross Ardern, father of New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

“Jacinda was at the Wahine 50 commemorations … I ended up talking to her for quite a while, about my role in the rescue and about the fact that her

father had at one time been my boss!

That was lovely, too.

“I was also talking to the Wellington police. Their photographer took some pictures of me with a couple of them for the material they’re putting together about the commemorations.”

Florence said she was extremely grateful she had been able to attend the event.

“Those memories will always be with me, of course, but this trip was so worthwhile. It has helped me put some of it to rest. The Wahine disaster was life-changing for so many people. I know it changed me, and I’m grateful I was able to be part of those commemorations.”

Our four-legged soldiers

By Candice Gollan

The vibrant red poppies blow in the wind as the town of champions pays tribute to the brave Anzacs who fought at Gallipoli in World War I.

This year marks 100 years since World War I ended. It is important to remember the brave soldiers, but it is also important to remember the part their brave four-legged companions played in New Zealand’s armed forces.

During World War 1, more than 10,000 horses were acquired by the New Zealand government to help prepare our armed forces in combat.

They served in Gallipoli, the Middle East and the Western Front.

Horses were eligibility tested for fitness by stock inspectors from the Department of Agriculture. On average owners were paid £17 (around $2500 today) for horses that were suitable for riding and £24 (around $3500 today) for artillery and transport horses.

The surviving horses that were sent to Gallipoli were evacuated and returned to Egypt as the conditions in Gallipoli proved unsuitable for horses.

Even the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade were sent to Gallipoli in May 1915 without their horses because of the unsuitable terrain.

Many soldiers missed their mounts and their companionship dearly.

“Great was the delight of the old hands when they found their horses in the pink of condition… and good indeed it was to see the shining happy face of many an ‘old hand’

as he wandered down the lines and recognised his own beloved horse,” Colonel C.G. Powles said.

Conditions on the Western Front and Middle East were not any better.

The conditions were trying for horses, with food, water and suitable shelter in short supply. The horses suffered immensely in winter on the front because of the weather, thick mud and barbed wire while in the Middle East.

The horses carried heavy loads of over 100kgs including their rider, weapons, ammunition, food and water.

Out of those 10,000 horses only four made it home.

The men stationed in Egypt were ordered to give their horses to the locals, but the soldiers cared too much for their companions to give them away into unknown hands and many were shot to save them from later pain.

While we pay tribute to the service and immense sacrifices of our soldiers, we should also remember the contributions of our brave four-legged companions.

Lest we forget.

20 years for local bakery

This year Cambridge Bakery celebrates its 20th year in operation. Coinciding with the big birthday, the locally-owned business on Duke St has introduced a new all-day breakfast menu, as well as a range of steak and chop meals, and yummy burgers.

Over two decades of operation the bakery has stayed in the family throughout, starting with current owner Kim Sok’s uncle Leng, who later passed it on to his sister-in-law Vilaka, the previous owner. Kim and her husband Ra took over operation in 2015, shortly after welcoming their new baby Julia-Rose into the family.

After 20 years the shop has become a local favourite, spanning from one generation to the next, yet many of its original homemade items are still available in store, in addition to a range of new and delightful treats. A number of “regulars” pop in almost every day – drawn in by the aroma of fresh baking and hot barista coffee.

“All of their food is made really well, it’s just delicious!

My favourite would have to be the hot chips,” said Kimberley Mason, who was in store last week.

“They do the best cream donuts,” added her friend,

Molly Castle. “And I love the sausage rolls!” her brother Declan said.

In addition to the range of goods made fresh on premises each day, Cambridge Bakery also provides catering to suit any occasion.

Submitted by the Cambridge Tramping Club Cambridge Tramping Club members thought they would take a break from tramping last week and instead some of us would bike the Te Awa River Ride. Starting from Ngaruawahia and pausing at the newly completed (and impressive) Perry bridge, to admire the efforts of ladies and children busy tying 2000 handcrafted poppies to the railings and fence. We managed to miss the showers and enjoyed morning tea on the riverbank with some of us continuing on to the Hamilton Gardens, the others returning from Rostrevor St to have lunch alongside the river. A very pleasant day and wonderful to see so many families making the most of this great asset to the Waikato.

The next tramp is on Sunday, April 29, doing the Ngamuwahine Track, on the Kaimais. Please phone June on 0274698431 for information.

Cambridge locals Kimberley Mason, Molly Castle and Declan Castle said the Cambridge Bakery is their favourite place for lunch.

Over 50?

Downsize your old house, free up your money and live a larger life.

Since the street of beautiful show homes opened at the new Cambridge Oaks Freedom Lifestyle Village (95 Swayne Rd) in late November 2017, hundreds of visitors have been received – including the first residents moving in this month, and over-50s who have bought houses that will be ready for them as they make the final move to “right-size” their living situation.

Cambridge Oaks has been widely recognised as a refreshing alternative to traditional retirement villages, as it provides lifestyle living for active over 50s – both pre-retirees and retirees. It will also ease the housing shortage in the area by downsizing homes for over-50s singles and couples while freeing up stock for young larger families.

Stage 2 of the Cambridge Oaks development has nearly sold out. On completion, Cambridge Oaks will comprise 205 homes, a luxurious Village Centre, and sought-after facilities for motorhome owners at ‘The Stables’ including parking, washdown areas, storage and recreation sheds. It is immediately adjacent to a commercial development including a proposed café/ The luxurious village centre at Freedom’s village at Papamoa Sands.

bistro and 7-day superette.

Cambridge Oaks has also proved to be very affordable for Waikato people – while not compromising on house design and functionality, or quality standards. Starting prices range from $249,000 for a 1-bedroom Terrace apartment to $649,000 for a luxury 3-bedroom 2-garage Hampton villa, helping young-at-heart over-50s to ‘downsize’ their existing house and free up their money, then to ‘upsize’ their lifestyle and opportunities.

The Village will cater for residents who can live independently in a community of like-minded individuals, without daily in-home support/medical care. But it provides the full legal and financial protections of a Retirement Village under the Retirement Villages Act (2003).

Freedom Lifestyle Villages, operator of Cambridge Oaks, was founded in 2012 after extensive global research on emerging 50+ lifestyle needs and wants.

Jacob Van Het Wout, Managing Director, says “Cambridge Oaks follows our Freedom community model which appeals to singles and couples, still working or retired, who want to downsize in order to unlock capital and enjoy the lifestyle they have worked hard for decades to achieve”.

An important distinction between the Freedom Lifestyle Villages model and the traditional retirement village model in New Zealand, is that residents are able to share in any capital gains on their home if it comes time to sell. The model was rigorously tested through research, consultation and the development of the first Freedom Village, Papamoa Sands in Tauranga.

“Following official opening of the Papamoa village by then-Prime Minister John Key in 2014, all 179 houses sold out in rapid time, which provided great validation for our operational and financial

All Freedom Lifestyle Villages include comprehensive motorhome facilities.

models. Since then, people who have resided at Papamoa Sands for three years have already enjoyed significant gains on their new homes” says Mr Van Het Wout.

Developments at Cambridge Oaks during the month of May 2018 will include final completion of its new gated entranceway, and the opening of the new Terrace showhomes for people seeking to downsize to a one-bedroom apartment living solution.

Cambridge Oaks show homes are open for inspection from 10am to 4pm on weekdays and 11am to 3pm on weekends, with lifestyle consultants available to guide visitors through the different options and respond to questions about lifestyle living for over-50s, downsizing and specific benefits of the Freedom model.

Quickfire Games King out in second round

Cambridge squash champion Joelle King (pictured) has been knocked out of a tournament in Egypt in the second round. Following her triumphant Commonwealth Games campaign where she won two gold medals and a bronze, King went on to compete in the El Gouna International tournament in Egypt where she was beaten

by Hong Kong player Annie Au. King, the world’s number four ranked player, had flown directly to the tournament from the Gold Coast.

Cambridge rider’s solid effort

Cambridge dirt bike rider Dylan Yearbury put in an impressive effort at the KTM New Zealand Enduro Championship series at the weekend. He finished third on Saturday at round one near Whangamata and fourth ain round two at Tokoroa on Sunday. Tom Buxton from Helensville won the opening two rounds, winning the day at Whangamata on Saturday by just three seconds from 2016 national enduro champion Brad Groombridge of Taupo, and following that up by winning day two at Tokoroa by 21 seconds, finishing ahead of Coatesville rider Sam Greenslade.

Junior Elite BMX team selected

A strong contingent of riders mostly from the Waikato have been named for the New Zealand Junior Elite squad for the UCI BMX World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan in June this year, including Cambridge rider Rico D’Anvers as reserve.

The five-strong team is led by World Champion Jessie Smith (Hamilton), who won the 16 years title in Challenge and Cruiser classes at last year’s championships in USA. Smith, along with fellow Hamilton club rider Cailen Calkin, are multiple age group world champions, now in their first year in the junior elite category.

They are joined by Hamilton’s Baylee Luttrell, who recently moved with her family to Copenhagen. She has been able to benefit with a significant amount of European race experience and knowledge to back up her kiwi skill base.

Hamilton’s Ryan Jordan and Luey Cotton (Kapiti) – the only rider from outside of the Waikato - round out the squad, with Cambridge rider Rico D’Anvers as the reserve.

The World Championships, which also incorporate the Challenge (age group) classes, will be staged at Baku, Azerbaijan, on June 5-9.

BMXers make Mighty 11s

By Sophie Iremonger

Two Cambridge locals have made it onto the NZ Mighty 11 BMX team set to compete against Australia in June.

Cambridge Middle School’s Joel Runciman and Berkley’s Josh Cavanagh made it onto the team after finishing first and second respectively at the National BMX Champs held in Palmerston North over Easter weekend.

They boys will travel to Sydney on June 1, taking part in a cultural exchange with Australian families before competing in the Australia vs New Zealand Mighty 11s Test on June 9-10. It will be the first time leaving the country for Joel, who has also been named as the NZ team captain.

“I thought (making the team) was pretty cool because it means I get to go to Australia,” said Joel.

“I thought it was great,” added Josh. “It’s a good opportunity for someone our age to go overseas to

represent the country in a sport.”

The pair first met at the age of six, when they joined the Cambridge BMX Club, and have been good mates ever since.

“It’s pretty cool that they’re doing it together, since they started (BMX) together,” said Josh’s mum Shelley. “We’re pretty proud of them.”

The boys have been working towards making the Mighty 11 team for the past year, training under coach Matt Cameron, who will head the new highperformance BMX hub planned for Cambridge.

“He makes it lots of fun and encourages them to jump bigger, which we don’t like!” laughed Shelley. “It’s pretty nervewracking!” added Joel’s mum Julia.

The boys secured their places quite firmly on the Mighty 11 team having won almost all of their races at Nationals. Because their birthdays are in November

and December, they normally race against older boys in BMX age group racing, based on a competitor’s age at the turn of the new year, but for Mighty 11s, it’s all about what age you are on the day, so they’re older than most of their competitors.

“This is the first time that they’ve had a chance to shine, which has been great, and obviously they did shine (at Nationals),” said Shelley.

“They nearly took each other out because they both wanted to come first!” laughed Shelley.

The boys said they’re both excited and proud to be on the team and look forward to aiming for victory at the Mighty 11s event in Australia. They will train every second weekend with the NZ team in Te Awamutu, in addition to a strict training schedule at the local BMX track.

BUSINESS SHOWCASE

Brent Kelly Law

AVAILABLE, APPROACHABLE, HONEST

Based in the heart of Te Awamutu, Brent Kelly Law Ltd is the continuation of a firm that has been a fixture of the legal landscape since it was founded in 1992.

Directors Mark Davies and Alex McIvor took over the practice from its founder and namesake, just over a year ago, transforming it from Brent Kelly and Associates to Brent Kelly Law Ltd. Neither were strangers to the business, however, having both been the ‘Associates’ in Brent Kelly and Associates for a number of years before Brent Kelly’s retirement last year. The firm deals in general law – rural, commercial and residential conveyancing, relationship property, trusts, wills, estates, and more – providing a fast and efficient service, with plain language a priority.

“It’s important to us that we explain legalese in a simple and easy way to

understand,” Mark said, adding that this is one of the firm’s cornerstone values and a priority for all staff.

Because it’s only by making sure everything is clear that they can work with their clients to secure the best outcome, the pair explained.

The firm also prides itself on completing work in a timely fashion, keeping clients informed every step of the way. “It’s that professionalism that is important in any profession, and it’s the standard we set for ourselves,” Alex said.

It’s their down-to-earth approach and efficiency that set Brent Kelly Law apart from the rest, and their convenient location in Te Awamutu is a bonus, eliminating the need for clients to travel into Hamilton and the associated hassle that entails.

Wollaston wins Close finish at lacrosse nationals U19 road race title

By Sophie Iremonger

Ally Wollaston took out the championship title in the under-19 women’s road race final at the Age Group Road National Championships held in the Wairarapa over the weekend. The 2017 St Peter’s School graduate was sure the race would end in a bunch sprint, so aimed at keeping herself in a good position in the last 10kms, timing it right at the end.

“There were heaps of attacks in the first half, and then second half was pretty flat, long and windy and the pace kind of eased up a little bit. So it played into the sprinters’ hands at the end which was good for me,” said Wollaston.

On Monday she returned to Cambridge, now training in a junior camp to prepare for the Junior Track World Champs in August. Over the coming months she will compete in the Calder Stewart Series in the South Island.

“It was awesome seeing what we had done in practice translated onto the field, everyone just worked well together, they really came together and played some awesome lacrosse.”

The Waikato team played five games in all, winning three, and finishing in a draw in the third round, against the same team that beat them in the final. “I think initially it was intimidating (playing against Auckland) but once we realised we were on an even par with them, when we drew with them, we were like oh we actually could beat them.

“It’s been us and them in the final for the last few years, and

we’ve lost every single time, but this last nationals was the one where we’ve gotten the closest to them, and so next year we’ll win!”

“I think everyone played well,” said Ursula, who has also been on the team since 2011. “We can all be really happy with how we performed.”

“It was a really well fought game,” Lindsay added.

“And we bonded really well as a team,” said Alice, who is in her fifth year of playing lacrosse.

“Because we’re all such different ages and different experiences, I was real happy with how well we played together, and even off field too, it was really cool.”

It was the best result so far for the Waikato Women’s Senior lacrosse team that competed at the national tournament held last month in Wellington, finishing in a very close second place overall after losing 11-12 to Auckland in the final.

Ten players in the 18-woman team were from Cambridge, Alannah Mouat, Alice WheatleyWilson, Alyssa Hale, Amber Hope, Anri Kruger, Sophie Unsworth, Taylor Jakeman, Ursula Johnson, Alice Hill and Becca Bryan. We caught up with the latter three, Ursula, 28, Alice, 17, and Becca, 21, along with their American coach Lindsay deMuth, in town this week to find out how it all went.

“I think it’s definitely the best result we’ve had against them (Auckland), because we’ve never been so even with them before… it’s probably the best tournament we’ve played,” said Becca, who has played on the team since 2011.

Auckland’s senior women’s team has dominated the tournament since its inception in 2011, winning it most years. But the Waikato team gave them a run for their money this year, with the lead tossing between the two teams throughout the final game.

“It was kind of like, they would score, and we would score, back and forth,” explained Lindsay.

Reds’ player wins national selection

By Josh Easby

Cambridge footballer Elliot Cooper will represent his country at this year’s FISU World University Futsal Championship in Kazakhstan.

The Reds midfielder has been selected for the NZ University Futsal team to go to the world champs in August. Futsal is an indoor format of football and is one of the fastestgrowing sports in New Zealand.

Cooper, a 4th-year physiotherapy student at the Auckland University of Technology (AUT), joined Cambridge Football Club this year after previously playing for Takapuna in the Northern League.

As well as playing for the Reds, he doubles as the first team physio, being a member of Vigour Physiotherapy‘s team of sports specialists.

Cooper (22) joins a national squad that includes six Futsal Whites – Hamish Mitchell (Ara Institute of Canterbury), Luke Maynard (University of Auckland), Luc Saker (Victoria University of Wellington), Jordan Ditfort (Waikato University), Thomas McGowan (University of Canterbury) and Benjamin Lapslie (University of Canterbury).

His next challenge is finding the $5,000 he needs to personally fundraise to be a member of the squad that plays in Kazakhstan.

The money is needed for his share of flights, accommodation, meals, travel insurance, entry and referee fees, training costs, coaching and management support and uniform.

His fundraising includes using a Givealittle Page at https://givealittle. co.nz/cause/world-university-futsalchampionship-kazakhstan#.

Elliot Cooper is heading to Kazakhstan for the futsal world championships.

New Zealand will send men’s and women’s teams to the championships in Kazakhstan for the tournament being held between August 19-26.

Nations already registered for the 2018 FISU World University Futsal Championships include Afghanistan, Argentina, Belarus, Brazil, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Spain, France, Germany, Iran, Israel, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, New Zealand, Oman, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, Ukraine and the United States.

Meanwhile, errors proved costly last weekend as Cambridge lost a closefought encounter with Auckland’s Metro FC, only to lose 3-1 in the Lotto NRFL second division.

Cambridge went ahead in the 16th minute at John Kerkhof Park when Jamie Woodlock smashed home a penalty.

The visitors clawed back a goal midway through the half with a diving header from Stu Roberts.

Defensive mistakes in the second spell turned the game when Yusuke Takai put Metro 2-1 ahead in the 66th minute, and then Josh Dayal added a third with only five minutes to go.

Cambridge are at home in the Northern League this Saturday, hosting Bucklands Beach, one of the in-form teams in the division. The match kicks off at 3pm at John Kerkhof Park.

A match between the two clubs’ reserves sides will act as a curtainraiser, kicking off at 12.30pm.

Meanwhile, Cambridge’s reserves continued their hot form in front of goal, putting eight past their counterparts from Metro in an 8-2 victory.

Tom Woutersen, who had scored a hat-trick the previous weekend for Cambridge in the Loaded WaiBOP Championship, notched another threegoal tally for the reserves.

Other goals came from Nathan Hallum (2), Adam Brady, Andrew Taylor and Shaun Richardson.

The Championship team lost 3-2 at home to Tauranga Blue Rovers in controversial fashion, being denied a last–minute penalty.

Scorers for Cambridge were Gavin Clark and Edinson Arroyo.

In the Waikato A division, Cambridge got their first league point with a 1-1

draw at home to Melville United, after the game was scoreless at the break.

Cambridge’s scorer was Mitchell Claridge.

The Cambridge D1s beat Northern United away 3-0 to take a share of the divisional lead. Goalscorers were last year’s top scorer Dave O’Donnell and Scott Jenkins.

On Sunday, Cambridge’s women lost their perfect start to the season, going down 3-2 to West Hamilton United in a tight match at Weka St. The two teams traded goals in the first half to go into the break 2-2 with

Cambridge’s goals coming from top goalscorer Rachel Hill and an own goal.

The home side found a winner in the second half to give Cambridge their first loss of the season after previous wins against Te Awamutu and Te Aroha in the Waikato Women’s B League.

Coach Andrew Taylor was pleased with his team’s performance, saying the players showed grit and had played well. He said Sophee RapsonJones and captain/goalkeeper Jen Hull had given standout performances.

FRIDAY APRIL 27, 2018

Something for everyone in India For many people, a trip to India is on the bucket list however for the unseasoned traveller it can be daunting to take the plunge and head over there. That’s where a tour party might be the way to go, suggested House of Travel Cambridge consultant Raelene Grinter. “Tours are safer for less-experienced travellers who might have dreamed of going there,” she explained.

“It’s always good to have the local knowledge of the guides,”

Raelene added, saying that in the case of the tour she went on, if it all got a bit much you could hop back on the group’s small bus to regroup. The guide also took them to ethical places to shop, so everyone came back with clothes and textiles galore, she said.

The trip Raelene went on a 12-day tour through what is known as the Golden Triangle – Delhi, Agra and Jaipur – covering off the Taj Mahal which had been on her wish list, as well as the famed Red Fort at Agra. The tour party of 12 also went to the site of the Exotic Marigold Hotel movie, where Raelene reckons you can now stay at (Richard Gere not included). India was a big surprise for Raelene, who said that what struck her the most was

the abundance of colour. “The saris got brighter as you go out of Delhi”, she said, adding that the shopfronts of spices and other goods added to the dazzling colours on show. The food, of course, was another highlight of the trip for Raelene, who described it as being quite different to the food on offer in the West. “I had a lot of vegetarian food…it was fragrant and incredible,” she said.

So if India has always been on your things to do list, but you are not sure where to start, a guided tour might be just the ticket.

And if you do go, Raelene reckons it’s well worth getting up at 4am to see the sunrise over the Taj Mahal, creating a beautiful pink glow on India’s most famous building.

A land of many flavours

India is famous for its mouth-watering cuisine, which has spread around the world.

Much of the Indian food in Western restaurants comes from northern India, with meat, breads and curries featuring heavily on their menus in that part of the country. From naan bread to rotis and samosas, to curries such as aloo ghobi (potato and cauliflower), chicken tikka and butter chicken – these are northern dishes that tempt our taste buds in the West, with garam masala the predominant spice mixture of choice.

North Indian curries often have thick gravies, that are moderately spicy and creamy – they need thicker sauces to scoop up with the accompanying bread, which would get soggy with runnier sauces.

In the more tropical south, generally speaking, dishes are based around rice, lentils and stew. Southern cooking

favours the use of tamarind, with thinner sauces which work better over rice than thicker northern gravies, as the rice stays reasonably firm when absorbing liquids.

The south favours coconut milk, native fruits, and curry leaves, while the north – heavily influenced by Arab and Persian

cuisine – has an emphasis on yoghurt, onion, tomato and garlic.

Dishes vary from region to region across the densely populated country, and Indian cuisine is truly something to be savoured with endless options to explore.

“I wish we’d done something sooner” REGRET is a difficult emotion.

We all feel it at some point: things we wish we’d said, but didn’t say; things we wish we’d done, but didn’t do.

Then the opportunity is gone and you can’t get it back. Is there a place for weighing things up? Absolutely, especially when something substantial is on the line. Buying a new home is one of those big decisions.

RPS Homes has four new Home and Land packages left in our Cambridge development off Swayne Road. Two of the seven have gone Under Contract in the last three weeks. The remaining four homes will go soon.

Saint Emilion for the win

By Candice Gollan

Cambridge-trained Saint Emilion showed his determination and inner strength when he took out the Group Three Coca-Cola Canterbury Gold Cup (2000m) at Riccarton on Saturday.

The Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained gelding, Saint Emilion, was thought to be beaten early in the home run, when Who Dares Win took off leaving him in second place.

At the 50-metre mark, Jockey Lisa Allpress and the son of Mastercraftsman dug in to find another gear and fought home to

finish the $100,000 feature in a nailbiting photo finish.

Jockey Sam Wynne who was partnered with Who Dares Win, thought she had won when she rose her whip in celebration after the post, but she looked across at Allpress and the doubt had set in and she did not know who had won.

“I just sat there,” Allpress said. “I didn’t think I’d got there.”

However, the photo-finish went to Saint Emilion by a nose, giving the six-year-old grey battler win number 14 of his career, which includes a Group One success in the Bonecrusher NZ Stakes (2000m) at Ellerslie.

Cambridge horses quinella Champagne Stakes

By Candice Gollan

Cambridge-trained Rubira fought stablemate Ole Ole home to take out the Listed Diamond Lodge Champagne Stakes (1600m) at Pukekohe on Saturday.

The Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained Rubira and Ole Ole fought through the Heavy10 surface in a nail-biting finish to quinella the Champagne Stakes, despite Forsman’s concerns about the duo handling the wet track.

The stablemates have a friendly rivalry going on after they clashed over 1100m at New Plymouth earlier this month where

Ole Ole had Rubira beaten home.

The two-year-old Lope De Vega filly got her payback as she broke her maiden status with style in the testing conditions.

“Stepping up to the mile was always going to be the go for her,” Jockey Danielle Johnson said. “What she is doing now she is doing on ability so once she has a break and strengthens up she could be very smart.”

Forsman has shares in both Rubira and Ole Ole and he was delighted with the performance of his team.“They both went brilliantly,” Forsman said. “Rubira is a filly we have always held in high regard.”

With its Intelligent Mobility Technologies you can take control of the urban environment and stay on track no matter what.

Women’s Club welcomes world champion Submitted by the Cambridge Women’s Club Cambridge resident, wife, mother, business owner/ operator and world champion athlete Vicki Wade was a recent guest speaker at the Cambridge Women’s Club. Having overcome the breakdown of her body and learned to walk again, Vicki has always lived her life with the mindset of challenging herself to be the best that she can be in life and sport.

In the 2017 World Championships in Canada, Vicki did just this in all three events - placing first, first and third respectively in the duathlon, aquathlon and triathlon.

The Cambridge Women’s Club is a social group, perfect for women of all ages, new to town wanting to meet friends or long-term residents looking for an enjoyable night out. We meet monthly over a meal and drink and there is always added entertainment, like a guest speaker. If you’d like to join us contact CWC President Fiona Stanners 027 3400 408 or for more information find us on Facebook.

Ruben the Road Safety Bear visited Karapiro School recently to deliver his message of keeping safe around roads and traffic. Ruben and his team of presenters visit schools, preschools and events throughout the Waikato to teach road safety tips, making the experience fun and memorable for children. That was certainly the case at Karapiro School, where Ruben did a song and dance for the students, delivering the message to: stay with your adult, stop, look, listen and link arms when you cross the road, and to especially watch out for “sneaky driveways”.

He left a few books promoting road safety to help keep his message present at the school.

Resthaven’s Easter Raffle winner

The Friends of Resthaven held their Easter Raffle at the Warehouse on the Wednesday and Thursday before Easter. They collected a little over $800 to go towards a special bath for the infirm at Resthaven, which is the main target for their fundraising this year.

This year Meaghan Schick of Karapiro was the winner. Friends of Resthaven president, John Barns Graham presented her with the prize at Resthaven.

She expressed her delight to receive the Easter basket of chocolate goodies, and a cot and doll. She was especially pleased that the cot had been made by the wood workers of the “MenZshed” at Resthaven, and the doll’s clothes and bedding by the ladies of the Arts and Crafts room.

Meaghan said that more and more young folk were turning against plastic and it was especially pleasing to be able to win a wooden cot. She said that she was not sure which one of her 14 grandchildren would receive the cot and doll, she might even keep it for them all to play with when they visited her.

Friends of Resthaven president, John Barns Graham

expressed thanks to all who bought tickets, and to the Warehouse for allowing them to use their facilities.
